Personally, I treat this as new lines and similarly to how all styles would be repeated in a new block, here I also expect them to be repeated. Perhaps, with the exception of links.

However, I know that this is just a personal opinion and I expect developers to have different opinions here.

Finally, so far we didn't have much feedback about this which, to me, indicates that we should think twice before changing this.

I'm still interested in a solution and I think this is still valid. I also have the problem that you cannot put a br e.g. inside a hyperlink etc. I don't want two links - I'd like one link with a line break inside. That's easily possible in HTML and currently not possible to achieve with CKE5.
